April's Lowest Tides, dropping to -1.2 feet, are for early risers only: 4:49 a.m. on Sunday the 26th, and 5:38 a.m. on Monday the 27th. On Tuesday the 28th, the lowest tide of -1.0 foot occurs at the more reasonable hour of 6:34 a.m. Highest tides for the month (+6.2 feet) happen at 9:50 p.m. Saturday the 25th, and 10:28 p.m. Sunday the 26th.
Celestial Objects near and far line up in an interesting manner in the western sky during twilight (roughly 8 p.m.) on Sunday, April 26. At the top is the thin, waxing crescent moon, only two days past new phase. Just below the moon, the stars of the Pleiades star cluster glitter. A little lower lies the planet Mercury, which is near its most favorable evening elongation position this year. All three objects will fit into the field of view of a typical pair of binoculars.
